In fact according to official literature cracking is normal in manufacture and wouldn't be a sign of problems. However, in this case they're delaminating (the ceramic coming off the substrate) which is the common failure mode. Also Porsche Bristol and Reading assured me they were perfectly fine, lol.

Having said all this, their test driver reckoned they felt fine -- they certainly hauled it up from speed many times when I was in the passenger seat...
